Dan Rafael: Controversy nothing more than a manufactured excuse by Kovalev

I'm a Kov fan and I don't think the punches that stopped him were illegal. Weeks shows the beltline is legal on Kovalev plus his trunks are above his navel.
I've always disliked when fighters purposely wear their trunks that high.
Example:
If Cotto was punching at Martinez's belt line here, those are all legal shots. Trunks above the navel means they're hitting the lower abdomen, not their nuts.

Everything was on the belt until the final blow, which was a low blow. I still say it's a bad stoppage. I'm just more upset we didn't get a definitive conclusion to the fight considering the first one should have gone to Kovalev to most people.

Don't be upset that Kovalev hurt your feelings. I'm sure you've said far worse about white folk than he said about black folks, it's just that you weren't caught saying them.Last edited by Boxing Goat; 06-19-2017, 04:01 PM.

I picked Ward in the first fight and thought Kov got ****in' robbed. Returned the points I won in a bet over it.
I was rooting for Kovalev Saturday, gave him most of the rounds, but knew he was done in round four. Dude transformed into Jean Pascal or some shit, maybe he just hasn't faced that kind of challenge, but he was completely gassed a third of the way through the fight.
Personally, those blows did not look low to me... borderline? Yeah, but not enough to stop fighting and act like you just got nutchecked. Same old shit from Kathy Duva... remember Khan-Judah? Kovalev was looking to buy time, he was exhausted and didn't know what to do. Taking a knee isn't exactly in his vocabulary.
I'm mainly disappointed with this event because I know we'll never hear the end of it (from either side). I want a third fight so I don't have to see posts about this **** a la Pacquiao-Marquez II five years from now.
